STAKE- RING FOR WAGONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 243,308, dated June 21,1881.

Application filed April 1 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PETER SAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in StakeRin gs for \Nagons, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in Wagon stake links or rings, employed mainly to receive and support supplemental stakes, as usually employed in lumber or burden wagons, and its construction and application will be hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an isometrical representation of the end portion of a-wagon-bolster with stake supported therein, on which are mounted stake-rings embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an isometrical representation of my improved stake-'rin g, of which Fig. 3 is a horizontal central section.

My improved stake-ring, represented in the several figures, consists of a ring-like portion, A, and a shaft portion, B, which, in their main outline, are similar to stake-rim gs heretofore in use; but rings of substantially like outlines, as heretofore constructed and used, when constructed in one piece, were substantially uniform in cross-section in all their parts.

My improved ring, as clearly shown in the drawings, is constructed in one piece, preferably of cast-iron made malleable, having the ends a of the ring-like portions enlarged, and

(No model.)

their inner sides, which connect to the ends of the shaft B, are of disk form, producing an enlarged collar-like portion to embrace the sides of the stake, to give firmness to the ring, and to prevent cutting of the parts when in their pivoted position in the stake. These rings are pivoted in the stakes at proper intervals, havin g their shaft-like portions gained into the outer edge of the stakes, with their flanged or disk-like portions embracing the sides thereof, in which position they are securely held in their pivotal connection therewith by means of stake-irons b, firmly fixed to the edge portions of the stake,-all of which is clearly represented in Fig.- 1, in which 0 represents the end portion of a bolster having the stake D framed therein, and its edges bound with stakeiron inthe manner common to like parts in the construction of wagons. In this stake my im proved stake-ring is represented, held in its pivotal connection therewith, by means of its iron-bound edges.

I claim as my in vention- The combination,withawagon-stake,of stakerings made in a single piece, and inserted in the edge of the stake and secured in place by the iron binding of the stake, substantially as set forth.

PETER SAMES.
